We had great weather that afternoon, both eastern and western sky was ablaze with colors. It was also the time when the moon was closest to earth. We were anticipating a spectacular moonrise but the low-lying clouds blocked the moon. The moon peeked for just a couple of seconds, but didn't have time take a shot. Without the clouds we would have a great moonrise, but we might not get these colors. Can't have it all

That night after our 3rd dinner, Zer (the one and only from BPP) and I went to the "perya" (fair/circus) while Mon was taking his power nap (which turned into a power sleep).

Judging from the queue, this is the cash cow of the perya. The show is just a couple of minutes and the entrance fee is 25 pesos per person. There was no shortage of people wanting to see a stunt-person ride his motorcycle on a vertical wall, round what resembles a giant wooden bucket. Fine demonstration of physics.

We were shooting this on the back of a truck, probably used to carry the perya equipment. There was a couple of people sleeping a few feet from where we were standing. One child kept tossing and turning on her sleep, shaking our platform. Oh btw, there was also a dog nearby, good thing it didn't bite.

The ferris wheel or "ruweda" is ever present in any perya. Its one of the crowd favorites too. I wasn't able to shoot the perigee moon at moonrise due to cloud cover but I chanced upon it right on top of this ferris wheel that night

If there is one thing that Mayantoc has in abundance its several kilometers of pristine river (Camiling River I think) and its tributaries snaking around/through the town. According to Mon that's why the town is referred to as the Summer Capital of Tarlac. This is where everyone goes to cool off during the hot summer days
